Biotechnology is the research-oriented science including a mixing of biology and technology. The study of living organisms like plants, animals and microbes and its application to human welfare is known as biotechnology. The study includes structures, physiological and biochemical functions and various beneficial and harmful aspects of living organisms. Biotechnology can deliver the next wave of technological change that can be radical and even more pervasive than that brought about by IT. Employment generation, intellectual wealth creation, expanding entrepreneurial opportunities, augmenting industrial growth are a few of the compelling factors that warrant a focused approach for this sector. Biotechnology and Biosciences are one of the most research - intensive industries in the world. Application of Biotechnology and Biosciences as a business segment for India has the potential of generating revenues to the tune of US$ 5 billion and creating one million jobs by 2010 through products and services.
Biotechnology is perceived as a revolution throughout the world. If you have a strong inclination for unraveling the mysteries of nature, then biotech sector is the one you should go for.
